Inside $180B Co-Founder's AI Agent System

I sit down with Furqan Rydhan, a founding team member of Applovin and cofounder Founders Inc, as he walks me through Nebula, a Slack-like workspace where every channel holds an agent that can execute real work across the tools teams already use. We watch Nebula create and edit a Google Slides deck end-to-end, including generating an image and handling failures by retrying until it lands. Furqan shows how Nebula turns one-off work into repeatable “recipes” with scheduled triggers, like adding slides daily or publishing blog posts multiple times per day. We also talk about what “business-in-a-box” looks like in the AI era; where direction, taste, and quality loops become the edge as automation gets widely available.

Agents turn one-time actions into repeatable systems via triggers and schedules. The interface mirrors Slack because work already lives in channels, threads, and context. Quality becomes the differentiator: critics, scoring, and iteration loops upgrade outputs over time.
